Depends on what you want to check - a simple ping will give you a fair idea of the response

RE: Fed Up! - 5/9/2003 12:52:34
ok ... well ... my deal is that my site is SO slow people are taking the time to complain. I think that when that happens things have got to change! My pages aren' t big and even the simplest asp page takes minutes rather than seconds.
My only other consideration is that my server is being over resourced. I have contacted them but their " we are never wrong" attitude drives me nuts.
What is the best way to check?

You can do it from a DOS prompt, or it' s called a command prompt in Windows XP
but here' s a site that will do several functions:

Go to a command prompt and type: ping domain.com or type: ping ipnumber

RE: Fed Up! - 5/9/2003 16:23:09
couldn' t " sign in" to site. Site doesn' t allow me to open it live.
So - went to cmd anyway and tried the ping. Results:
Request Timed Out
Request Timed Out
Request Timed Out
Request Timed Out
Packets - sent = 4; Received = 0; Lost = 4

That means the server is not responding! Not good at all.
Do you know the server IP? Let me try - BRB
Well, I get the same thing - The ip of the server doesn' t respond either - none of this is a good thing [:j]

Your call - but if you can' t get any satisfaction from the host, maybe it' s time to look for a new one...

I tried to check out the site and I got.....
leisure-ideas.com is currently off line for scheduled maintenance. Please check back later.
One reason I do not like asp and windoze servers.. if you are on a server with other sites with asp and one of those sites has some **** code it can screw up your site as well because the server is so clogged trying to run the bad code it slows down all asp on the server. When I was at Interland it was so bad for awhile that I had to call them everyday and tell them to re-boot or stop and start asp.

RE: Fed Up! - 5/10/2003 9:27:33
but the first advantage would be that it doesn' t require a win box, right?

Quite frankly, at this point, I am making $0 investment in M$ or their technologies. Coincidentally, that' s what I' m investing in Linux right now too. Only with Linux I can get an entire desktop solution that runs on $300 worth of hardware.This applies to my clients, too. On the server side they are either moving to or considering Linux.

I see your site is still down
I use FastHosts here in the UK and have absolutely no problems with any of my FP & ASP enabled sites. I also use an IT/Internet services company to arrange all the behind the scenes admin.
Either contact them (FastHosts) direct or email me and I' ll give you a name of someone who organises it all for me.
Because I use a " middleman" I don' t make any money out of hosting but I do get
1 good support
2 no problems setting up adding features etc
best of luck
Chris

I notice that you are in the UK. Even though I' m in Belgium, I host in the UK at an outfit called Virtual Internet. I have used them to host ASP applications for a couple of years with no problems.
Besides the overloading of shared servers, there can be problems with the configuration of Windows hosts. I think it is best to use a company that hosts lots of Windows sites so they have people in the company who understand how to do things, and not just a Linux guy who is maintaining a Win server on the side.
